Yodny Cajuste Scouting Report

STRENGTHS: Yodny Cajuste is a pure
technician at the offensive tackle position…projects to be a plus pass blocker
due to his consistent technique…Cajuste is excellent at mirroring would be pass
rushers and is able to counter, their counter moves…a mobile offensive lineman
who is able to sustain the initial block, and then get downfield in order to
pick up another…good length for the position…a powerful lineman who generates a
push with a strong initial strike…

WEAKNESSES: Yodny Cajuste is not the most
powerful run blocker…no one is going to confuse him with a road grader…some in
the scouting community feel that he will have to kick inside to an interior
offensive lineman…his top and lower halves need to play in conjunction—his top
half has a tend to get a bit heavy…

COMP: Duane Brown

OVERALL: Yodny Cajuste is one of those
prospects that the more tape you evaluate on him, the more you like. Some feel
that he is a better fit on the interior at offensive guard, but I’m not one of
them. I believe he could be one of the very few prospects in the 2019 NFL Draft
who could be a viable option at the all-important Left Tackle position. A
versatile lineman, I have him as a 1st round value who will go
somewhere in between picks 20-40 in the 2019 NFL Draft.
